Absolutely the best!!
I am pleased to take this opportunity to review my lawyer, whose exceptional service has proven unparalleled throughout my legal journey. From the beginning of my engagement, their professionalism and depth of knowledge were evident, providing instant assurance and trust in their capabilities.
His response time to inquiries was remarkably quick, ensuring no detail was left unattended or overlooked. I appreciated their dedication to clear and consistent communication, which eased the anxiety often associated with legal proceedings. Whether it be a legal question, administrative issue, or just a quick check-in, Robert was always available and responded quickly.
Moreover, his breadth of knowledge was coupled with a unique ability to explain complicated legal jargon in a simple and easy-to-understand manner. He was very patient, listening carefully, and then providing explanations that made sense, a true testament to their expertise and ability to his service based on client needs.
Robert not only represented me in a legal sense but also provided emotional and moral support during this challenging time. He demonstrated empathy and understanding, and his positive attitude and calm demeanor were nothing less than beneficial.
The outcome of my case was favorable, a result of their meticulous case preparation, attention to detail, and strategic planning. His commitment to fighting for my best interest was evident in his tenacity in court and during negotiations.
In a world where it's hard to find a professional who is both skilled and caring, this lawyer stands out as one who truly goes above and beyond. Roberts dedication to his clients and the legal profession is commendable. I wouldn't hesitate to utilize his services again and will unquestionably recommend him to anyone seeking legal advice or representation. The thoroughness, dedication, and professionalism he showed throughout my engagement goes beyond mere words, and I am profoundly appreciative.

Excellent, Ethical Attorney
Robert has been my family attorney for years. He helped me through a high-conflict divorce and ongoing child custody case, helping clear my name from false allegations and protect my rights as a father. He has a calm and poised demeanor and deals respectfully with clients and other attorneys. He's offered me sound advice over the years and has been good with negotiations too, knowing when to push and when to stand firm. I'm thankful to have peace, custody, and a great relationship with my child today because of his help. Highly recommend.

Mr. Curtis has been amazing!
Mr. Curtis helped me with my domestic violence case that I was wrongfully accused with and he got it successfully dismissed. He is now helping me with my custody case involving my young children. He helps me with any paperwork I need to fill out and he is always available to communicate with me via phone call or text when I have a question. Going through this can be very emotional and draining and Mr. Curtis is understanding of that and does what he can to help ease my mind. I’m so grateful for everything is has done and continues to do to help me get the best outcome for me and my children. I will continue to use Mr. Curtis for any ongoing legal issues I have.

A Lawyer With Integrity and Intelligence
Robert is a great attorney. He knows the law, and he is a force in the courtroom. He won two cases for me back to back with outstanding results. I'm so grateful to find a lawyer with his integrity and intelligence. His fees are fair and reasonable. I have referred family members to him, and I would hire him again!

Effort was Average or below
We hired Mr. Curtis, because he had such good reviews however, he was hard to get a hold of, out of town or ill. In addition, we felt that his communication and plan of action was lacking strength. We felt we were kept in the dark with his plan of action. We feel we paid top dollar and got substandard service. When we hired another attorney and picked up our file, the file was disorganized and had replicas.

Response from Robert CurtisOctober 26, 2023
This was a challenging matter defending against video evidence. I am constrained against providing any further facts due to ethical considerations. However, I am disappointed in the contention that I was non-communicative and unclear in the pursuit of an overall strategy in the client's best interests. There was some early success achieved, but it is not always possible to satisfy each client's objectives in our adversarial judicial system. I ALWAYS responded to the client in a timely manner and tried to address unrealistic expectations in a respectful and empathetic manner. The client never complained to me and thanked me for my representation explaining that he couldn't afford to continue.
